About Your Seller

I've been selling on eBay since 2006 and really enjoy the experience. My store has a seashore theme because I can see the ocean while typing on my computer. I look out the deck window to white caps. Living so close to the ocean inspired the name for the store.

I started the store when my Mother asked me to sell some of her old costume jewelry. Well, that's not exactly right - I took it to sell on eBay, because she was going to give it to the fire company for their garage sale! I saved several pieces for my own collection, and after successfully selling my Mother's pieces, a few of her friends asked me to do the same. I fell in love with the jewelry, and hence a new chapter in my life was born.

We, my husband and I, are retired. Now I even have him looking for the beauty in vintage jewelry. Thanks so much for visiting, and I would love to have the opportunity to serve you in the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me using the "Ask seller a question" link in any of the listings.

Designer of the Month...CORO

Coro, Cohen & Rosenberger began early in the 1900's in Providence, Rhode Island. As Coro they are familiar to all costume jewelry lovers. CORO made jewelry from about 1920 until the 1970's, and probably did it under more different names than any other maker. Vendome (1944-1979) , Corocraft (1935-1980), and Duette are just three examples. The Coro mark was on the more modestly priced jewelry. Corocraft, Vendome and Francois were the better and higher priced lines. Adolph Katz was one of the best known of the designers, but there were many others responsible for the wonderful style of Coro jewelry.

Vendome, best known for glittering glass beads and earrings, also featured other wonderful pieces such as the cabochon and rhinestone. Corocraft was often sterling vermeil, and the pieces that incorporated both rhinestones and enameling are truly spectacular.
